Villains of the 2014 World Cup

Wayne Rooney, England

The Englishman finds himself on this list for his off-field exploits. Back in 2004, he was accused of sleeping with prostitutes – the Evening Star went with the charming headline “sex with a granny” – angering his-then fiance, Coleen McLoughlin. Six years later, he appeared in the tabloids again after sleeping with a £1k-a-night prostitute. This time, McLoughlin – now his wife – was pregnant with the couple’s first child. Far be it for us to be nosey about another man’s personal life, but his petulance during Manchester United’s losing season didn’t win him any new supporters.
